Welcome!

Welcome to the new website of the Materials Chemistry program at the UW-Madison Department of Chemistry. This website contains useful information for current Materials graduate students and also is intended to provide insights into the research of our Materials Chemistry program for prospective students.

Materials Chemistry Courses

There are two “tracks” of materials chemistry classes. Students are required to take at least three graduate-level courses in materials. They include, but are not limited to, the following:

Inorganic materials which includes Chemistry of Inorganic Materials (currently Chem 630-Hamers) and Chemistry of Nanoscale Materials (Chem 630-Jin). Chemistry 630 “Special Topics” courses can be taken more than once for credit if they are on different subjects. Many of these courses will involve reading and critically evaluating the primary scientific literature.
